Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove any damaged outer leaves from the Chinese cabbage, then rinse thoroughly under cold water.
  2. Slice the cabbage thinly crosswise to create delicate shreds, discarding the tough core.
  3. Place the shredded cabbage in a large bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt; toss and let sit for 5 minutes to release moisture.
  4. Drain any excess liquid from the cabbage using a colander or by pressing gently with clean hands.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and minced garlic until the sugar dissolves.
  6. Add fresh chopped cilantro and sliced green onions to the drained cabbage.
  7. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently until evenly coated.
  8. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately for maximum crunch.
